What next...? You decide TFW2005!

Now it might be too soon to talk about the future of the live action franchise, but with the era of Bayformers supposedly coming to a close, there are so many possibilities left to grasp!
I'm not starting this thread because I hate this movieverse or, to the contrary, I love it and its a big reason why I started collecting and getting into the TF mythos. Anyways, I figure I start it up, just to read what you guys want to see in later films.

Either a reboot (hopefully more faithful to the original material and characters) or a sequel trilogy with Galvatron as the leader of the Decepticons. I'll hope for the first option, with a new director.

I don't really think that theres much more that they can do with the films now. Unless some Decepticon commando squad somehow manages to steal the matrix from Prime and revive Megatron, but his damage was to extensive so he's reformatted into Galvatron.

why do we need Megatron? Juts have Galvatron as a separate character or use someone else!

I honestly don't expect another film in the next 4-6 years if we are lucky, if they have to do a reboot it will require starting everything from scratch, if they somehow manage to continue the bayverse that is going to take a while as well with what would have to be designing a whole new squad of cons. And rights negotiations and such fun things.

My dream plot would have The Vok as smoke beings [like Johann Krauss on Hellboy II] and as the main villains this time around, consuming the minds of all on the galaxy like a virus, this time being lead by Nemesis Prime, Optimus' evil brother, who claims he leadership of the Decepticons alongside his right-hand thug: Trypticon.

This. It could work out. Id like a structured sequel trilogy with a vary of old and new characters. Potentially a new Prime rising through the ranks and OP looking for a successor. Also Galvatron, but as his own entity, not as a ressurected Megatron.

The decepticon are leaderless so they all start fighting over who should lead them, in that fight Decepticons start to search for evergon and keep one upping each other in order to prove to the other decepticons that they are worthy of leading them all. Sutobots continue to fight the decepticons, because that's what they do Baby!

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to a sequel trilogy or a entire reboot so long as we get:

1) A solid/ consistent plot
Have the writers plan/ write the WHOLE trilogy out before filming, working to make sure the films actually build off of each other and are coherent. No more making shit up as they go.

2) some G1/ actual cannon homage
not enough to drown in, but enough to give the franchise's roots some love
3) solid characterization development
human (if needed) 'bot or 'con, give us some characterization, no more static stereotypes
4) MOAR ROBOTS!

One thing that they could use - somehow, don't ask me how though! - is that if you remember in RotF when hunting for Jetfire, Wheelie mentions there was quite a few 'Seekers' all around the planet. Perhaps they could use one of those to revive the storyline?
